My sweet Birthday Baby!!

10 days and counting until you are 1 year old!! 

One year ago, you came into our world and for a year I've been blessed with your delightful laugh, your (so sweet!) great big smile, and ceaseless wonders that you bring.  You are a perfect little baby.  You have wispy blond hair, mischievous gray blue eyes, and a big smile.  When you are happiest, you breathe in deep and croak a deep laugh. 

At 11 months, you have been crawling for months, are captivated by small toys that you study in your tiny fists, and most enjoy watching and interacting with your big sister.  You are a daddy's girl!!  When daddy's in the room, you are all eyes for him!  You are fond of music and will rock up and down on your knees to the beat.  You still say "Dada" but not much else, although yesterday Daddy said that you were starting to talk to yourself,although I can't understand what you are saying.

My favorite things about you are your big laugh, your nearly toothless smile, and watching you race around the floor as you wildly crawl after somethign that catches your attention.  You love playing in the toy kitchen.  You love to open and close doors.  You love the baby swing when we go to the park.  You love seeing how close spiegel will let you get to him before he runds away.  And you love to eat.

Sweet baby, you are a wonderful gift bestowed to us that have made me smile since the day you were born.  September 12th, 2009 was destined to be a great day because of you.

I can't wait to watch you grow.

Love, Momma
